Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate pesticide commonly used in agriculture to control pests. The detection of its residues in food products raises concerns regarding food safety and consumer health. The mixed vegetable sprouts, which are often consumed raw, are particularly susceptible to contamination due to the agricultural practices involved in their cultivation.
